On the eve of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Galatasaray prepares to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, hoping to overturn the odds. Despite the 1-1 draw in the first leg, Galatasaray believes they have what it takes to challenge their opponents, with Chedjou’s equalizer providing a glimmer of hope.
Reflecting on the first leg, defender Aurélien Chedjou acknowledges that they could have performed better, suggesting they approached the game with too much respect for Chelsea. However, he remains optimistic about their chances, emphasizing the need to be proactive rather than reactive in their approach.
Galatasaray, with only two qualifications out of ten in the European Cup, faces a tough challenge against Chelsea. Chedjou acknowledges that his team is not the favorite but believes they have every chance if they can step up their performance and capitalize on their opportunities.
As they head into the crucial second leg, Galatasaray understands the physical battle that awaits them but remains confident in their ability to compete and exploit any openings that may arise.
